Sometimes, you got to do what you got to do.

I got patriotic goof that could compromise your entire national identity, should you let my patriotic degen allow you to experience what it is like to live a life of personal freedom at the cost of your suicidal empathetic feelings and financial prospects so you can defend your marijuana plants with your trans same sex partner with suppressed machine guns against minority illegals migrants that stab people because they exist.

We would suceed inside of a week and Ontario would say “huh, what? Ok, whatever. Sorhry.” I know the capitol of Canada is Ottawa, but that is the level of concern and relief to the Canadian populous and Parlament. We are the crazy partner you fuck with but couldn’t sustain a relationship with because of how degen we are, but you keep cumming back because we got that good good dollar dollar bill y’all.
We would bankrupt the Canadian healthcare system within days.
We all need to make sacrifices. They should have gotten a handle of whiskey and drink water.

Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The ‘Liberal Tea Party’ Moment Is Here for Democrats3·4 days agoI will say it again, I am in a majority Dem county and state.
It doesn’t matter who I vote for. It isn’t like there are 2 candidates that are super close, one always has a majority right away and everybody knows who that it going to be.
If we look at 2016, Hilary was always going to win because Bernie was too far left(bad for business) and everybody else had about a snowball’s chance of hitting the Sun from the part of Hell with dry heat. That same primary, Bernie nearly doubled Trump’s votes.
2020? The Dems pushed for Biden as the great hope against the Armageddon that is a second Trump term and Bernie lost hundreds of thousands of votes. Biden nearly doubled Trump’s votes.
2024? Biden got over 90% of votes because the orange man can’t win or we all die and he will put trans kids and immigrants in camps with German engineered showers. Biden had double Trump’s votes again, but got hundreds of thousands less votes than Hilary in 2016 and stepped down to make way for Harris, who only had a platform based on being a woman that isn’t white and isn’t Trump.
Literally no point in Me voting in national elections where I’m at.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The ‘Liberal Tea Party’ Moment Is Here for Democrats21·4 days agoNope, decided by delegates. I vote for who I want and the party decides who they want.
If elections were decided by popular vote, I would have more motivation.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The ‘Liberal Tea Party’ Moment Is Here for Democrats13·4 days agoI am absolutely a non-voter. I am in a Dem majority county and state. So my vote does not matter in the slightest. A Rep flipping my area has about as much as a fart in the wind offending a bloodhound upwind.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•"You only attack liberals, what about the other side?!?!"1·4 days agoNot sure what the second question is.
There are an estimated 741k legal machine guns in the US. There has only been one incident of self-defense with a lawfully possessed machine gun, he was not guilty. There has only been 3 cases of legally owned machine guns being used in a homicide, two of those were cops, since 1934. Machine guns used in crime are unlawfully owned or manufactured.
The means of self defense does not matter in most cases, that does vary by state though. If you have a handgun and attack me, and I have an M16, and I kill you, I am within my rights assuming I had not provoked your attack.
Some states that are anti-gun would say that you using a gun against someone with a knife is an uneven use of force, so using a machine gun in those states against someone with a knife who is attacking you would be a big court case. Why they think an attacker should have fair odds and be met with a knife fight is beyond me. The loser of a knife fight dies in the street and the winner dies in the ambulance, shoot the fucker and live to sort out the rest.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The ‘Liberal Tea Party’ Moment Is Here for Democrats19·4 days agoThe only reason that happened is because the progressive left pushed moderates right with a poor platform and pandering.
If they had a decent platform that wasn’t based on orange man bad, maybe they could come up with something of value to campaign on and win.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The ‘Liberal Tea Party’ Moment Is Here for Democrats302·4 days agoYou mean the Democrats needs to actually campaign on and deliver what the majority of their potential voters want.
Shame they will double down on their failed strategy and not understand why they can’t capture moderates.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•"You only attack liberals, what about the other side?!?!"8·4 days agoPrior to 1986, any US citizen could buy pretty much any machine gun they wanted so long as it was registered and the tax on the transfer was paid.
After 1986, you could not buy a new machine gun but could buy a “transferrable”(registered prior to 1986) machine gun as long as the tax was paid and you pass a background check.
This lead to a ton of registrations of various means to covert a semi auto gun into a full auto gun, some as simple as two pieces of metal sheet.
Post '86 machines guns are not transferrable between civilians unless the civilians have a special type of license that qualifies them as a manufacturer or demonstrator of certain weapons.
The demonstration class requires you to be actively demonstrating the firearms to law enforcement or government agencies as certified by a letter expressing interest or demand. So you have to have a department advocating on your behalf so that you could take transfer of a post 1986 machine gun.
For manufacturers, there is the expectation of demonstration, so you can’t just make a machine gun for your own usage, it has to be demonstrated.
So there are only 12 m134 “gatling” guns that were registed prior to 1986 that can be purchased by your average Joe with a clean record. Most are prized pieces in a collection and will likely only see the auction block once a generation. They fire 2,000-6,000 rounds a minute, an M4(full auto AR-15) fires 700-970 rounds per minute.
There are supposedly also 6 transferrable mk19 automatic 40mm grenade launchers out there which go for over $600k. Problem with those is each round costs between $400 and $3000 and takes 9-18 months to transfer.
Death_Equity@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•"You only attack liberals, what about the other side?!?!"12·5 days agoAgree. Shame there is only like 12 civilian transferrable examples that rarely come up for auction and the last one sold for $600k a few years back.
Opening the registry might bring them down to the “Mini gun or V10 Lambo” range.

User: I am so busy and stressed out rn
Bot: Aw, I’m so sorry. When I am stressed I like to play Candy Crush Saga 2 and eat Doritos’ new spicy matcha flavor, available at most retail locations.
